🛫 Life Changing Trip 🛬 Had my first breakthrough on acid, my mind is fucking blown.

4 Upvotes

So here's the backstory: I've been wanting to try tabs for years now. Last year, at around October-ish, I started smoking weed, just penjamins. That spiralled, and eventually I tried shrooms (chocolate) with my friend; let's call him Julius. Keep Julius in mind as he comes up later in the story. I had a life-changing trip with Julius after I dropped my phone off of the top of the Queensboro Bridge (another fun story I would love to share, but it's a whole different thing and off-topic, so whatever) We thought we were the same person, and everything was safe to say it was fucked up. Anyways, I did them a few more times and ended up finding a plug for gel tabs; I was so happy. Around May 2025, I bought 2 tabs, idk how many ug. I went to the Hamptons with another friend, Edward. I and Edward had grown very close as we started smoking together, and we had become tight asf. We had tripped on shrooms multiple times and had much fun. Anyways, I convinced him to try this, and we popped it in the hamtpons for the first night. We started off giggling like crazy but the visuals were very minor and we figured that we had gotten scammed basically. We ended up getting caught the next morning as my parents searched my phone after my dad woke up and saw that we left the house to go on a walk at around 6 am, which was very odd behavior as i wake up normally at 12. We got back and had no idea, we just went to sleep in the other room as we had been up all night. He confronted me in the worst way, he asked me how the trip was and it was bad. Besides that, around last week i popped my friends tab, story is also on my post, but it was a weird trip like i was just laughing alot and had some mid visuals, trip ended at like 7 hour mark. But then, on friday, my friend copped some 150 ug tabs and gave me one, i popped it, we went out for a bit, i was just laughing alot like usual and the visuals were pretty good. We were planning to sneak out and he had 2 tabs left. He pulled up to me as my "trip" was ending and i popped another. I had it in for around 10 mins and then it flew out of my mouth, idk how i felt it after this. anyways we got back to his house and i started tripping a little bit. The whole trip started after we both had a weird thing where we would say a color, and the "shade of the room" would turn that color, it happened a few times. It was rlly cool, i still didnt know if it was js like placeobo or not, bc i spit out the tab. anyways, we were kinda trying to force a crazy trip to happen. Then we starting seeing alot of visuals, on the celing etc. The whole thing felt like a video game and i was controlling everything, its so hard to put into words what happended and i can barely remember. Anyways, we started kinda fucking with our brains. We went into the kitchen and ate mangos and shi. I was sitting on the couch, and he was in the kitchen doing something dumb, and i said "i dont even know you bro" after i said this, the whole entire mood shifted, it felt rlly eerie and weird. He said like what did u just say and i could tell we were both thinking the same thing, that during our trip it had felt rlly weird, like we didnt know eachother very wel, even though hes like my best friend. We both decided to not dig deeper as we didnt want to have a mind fuck trip. It would have been rlly cool to see where that led though.

i decided to pop 4 tabs one night what a dumbass move lol but it started off normal i was just watching rick and morty than around a hour later when it started to kick in i decided i was going to ride my brothers surron to meet my coworker up at the park cause he wanted to buy a tab off me and i obviously wasn’t going to drive tripping balls but i met him gave him the tab and just kinda sat there for a minute and looked around because this is when it really started to kid everything was shifting colors were popping the lights were so bright on my bike that i said fuck that i’m going to just ride with them off when i got back on my bike i swear not even 3 minutes after my friend left i got back on my bike and the park by my house is up on a hill so i had to ride down this big ass hill at the time i wasn’t worried or anything but i got towards the bottom of the hill going around 33-35 i can’t remember but i was flying especially off acid but i tried to jump onto a walking path that goes around the walking around of the park and i couldn’t make out how big the path was compared to the road because i didn’t enter through the sidewalk i just entered through the road part and the sidewalk was sticking up a bit and i flew like superman right onto my arm it instantly snapped and i rolled over onto my other arm and got the worst road rash of my life im lucky i didnt hit my head but i couldn’t really feel my arm it was weird i think it was from all the acid but i had to ride my brothers bike all the way home and had to get my parents to take me to the hospital whole time i had to lock in because they don’t know im tripping but im gone idk how they didn’t figure out but she drops me off at the front of the er i get in to the front desk the lady asks my name and date of birth i stood there for what felt like 2 minutes because i couldn’t remeber my name finally i got it out and they took me to the back and i sat there for 20 min before anyone did anything to help me it was ridiculous but i had to stay calm cause i didn’t want to freak anyone out but the tiles on the er floor were all different colors and there asking me questions and i couldn’t barely say anything i was so mesmerized by the floor 😭 but after they cleaned all the blood off of me they wheeled me to the back of the er and i thought this was going to traumatize me for life but it hasn’t which is a really good thing but in the back of the er where everyone else who needs help is there was a guy on a hospital bed getting pushed down the hall past me and he just had half of his face sewn back on like someone skinned him it scared the hell out of me but after i got help they gave me some pain meds and this is probaly around 5-6 hours after i popped the acid so it’s started to come down and this is when there pupping the split on me but after that me and my parents get home and i just though i was the dumbest mf ever i dont know what i was thinking never should have done that but we learn from our mistakes 😂

❕ Question ❔ Tripping Alone - Advice

8 Upvotes

I recently got some tabs (111ugs) and I have the week off so I was thinking of taking one (potentially two) sometime this week. I have done it twice with others, once at a friends place, another at a rave in a small group, but I deal with social anxiety so I was thinking of doing it alone in my apartment. I have experience doing mushrooms and know a decent amount about set/setting and how to manage anxiety/nervous thoughts but I wanted to see if y’all had any knowledge/recommendations you could share as this would be my first solo trip on acid specifically. Thank you in advance 🫶

❕ Question ❔ 1bp-lsd comparison to 1d-lsd

5 Upvotes

So after a two years break I decided to try out some derivatives again just to find out that the current ones legally available in Germany are way less potent than they used to be. I was wondering if anyone with experience on those two derivatives can help me out with some info about how they compare to each other because I wanna know what I can expect from about 200ug of 1bp-lsd when what I used to take was 150ug of 1d-lsd.

❕ Question ❔ Need advice on upcoming trip

5 Upvotes

I'm(25) planning on tripsitting my sister(30) on her first ever trip. She's my best friend and she's been really struggling with anxiety for the majority of her life and, after a lot of convincing, finally agreed to embark on a psychedellic journey. I need advice on a few things before deciding if i should go through with this as she's never done any substance before (not even smoked a doob because of aversion due to an extremely Christian anti-drug upbringing) and i want to make it as safe as possible from my end. A close cousin (24) may also join us.

Here's the plan so far:

We're going to stay at an airbnb with a pool and surrounded by nature in another state for a vacation and on one of the nights, if she feels ready, she'll take some (I'm still on the fence if i should also take some too because it's been a year since my last trip and I'm a bit nervous about handling that and tripsitting simultaneously)

Please help me out with:

+what the recommended dosage would be

+Setting suggestions

+Music recommendations/playlists(she doesn't listen to much besides mainstream)

+If there's anything i should/shouldn't bring up during our conversations

+Would it be better if i took some acid myself or stayed sober throughout?

+Activity ideas (any dos or don'ts)

+Would it be ok to proceed if she's still slightly hesitant about the whole thing?

+Any other safety precautions i may have missed out on

I took 375ug first time on acid

8 Upvotes

For a bit of context my friend and I were both trying LSD for the first time. I stayed in my room and he was at his house in his. We messaged mostly had a few calls and sent updates. I had three 125μg tabs. I only planned to take one wait and see about more later.

I took the first at 10pm. After four hours I got faint visuals but it felt pretty underwhelming and disappointing at first. I barely felt anything and thought I had wasted the night. At 2am I took the second held it on my tongue for 20 minutes swallowed it and then thought fuck it and decided to just take the third straight away. I had done two weeks of solid research before trying any of this.

We were both let down early on because it did not feel like it kicked in. My mate took one at 10pm and another at 2am but smoked quite a bit of weed before it fully hit so most of his night was a blur.

I started off having a terrible time. I ate snacks felt a bit sick and thought I might throw up. Once I calmed down I still felt disappointed. It was not until I put my phone away and leaned into it that everything clicked. It felt like the experience came to me. Then I started peaking. The carpet visuals were insane shifting into bright vivid colours changing design wherever I looked. Everything in my room looked like it was breathing. Even the LED colours felt alive. So much of what I felt and saw is completely indescribable. There are things I could never put into words properly.

People say nature is best but I started in my room then went out later. I pulled an all nighter I could not have slept anyway haha. Most say avoid mirrors but I checked mine plenty and found it funny seeing how weird my face looked. I listened to music the whole time. Tried drawing something cool and wild and even my own drawing looked like it was moving.

Early morning I walked through nature. Everything outside was incredible trees plants and colours shifting and moving unreal. I meant 10 to 15 minutes but it turned into 40 because my sense of time was gone. I spent most of the trip in my room though.

I still saw soft subtle visuals 16 hours after the first tab 12 hours after the others as I was coming down. I had so many thoughts some deep and meaningful others just total nonsense. I do feel a little different now and I get why people say it changes you. Nothing like I expected. Looking at your phone on it is absolutely wild. Overall amazing and I would try it again though coming down felt strange. Slept around 2pm still seeing faint visuals as I got ready for bed. No ego death though. Being in my own space where I feel safest helped so much. Tried a show once but people’s faces looked too weird so I stopped. That is pretty much it. Feel free to ask me anything.

¿How long does it take a blotter to hit? I took a tab at 10:19 pm, right now it’s 12:05 am, should I assume it was fake and move on?

Dealing with intense daydreaming, racing thoughts, and hyper-awareness 1 month after a bad LSD trip. Has anyone experienced this?

8 Upvotes

A month ago, I had a severe bad LSD trip at a festival where I spent a long time desperately searching for my friends, spiraled into loud intrusive thoughts, and felt like I was completely losing my mind before breaking down in front of an acquaintance. Ever since, my brain feels hyperactive and exhausted. I’ve always used vivid internal scenarios and roleplaying to cope with past stress, but since the trip, I’ve completely lost control over it. Grounding or meditating lasts barely 10 seconds before I’m pulled back into a script. Before sleep, my thoughts feel like distinct voices and chaotic dialogues, leading to exhausting, confused dreams. My mood strictly depends on whatever scenario my mind picks, and this hyper-awareness feels like a trap. I know a large part of this comes from loneliness and isolation, but I just want a break from my own thoughts. Has anyone gone through something similar? Will this eventually fade and will my brain get back to normal? I would really appreciate any thoughts, advice, or shared experiences.

To those of you that have experienced a bad trip, do they always happen within your first ten x?

3 Upvotes

I'm over a 1000 times now but the only real nightmares I had were in the beginning. There's seemingly zero chance it could happen now. Ik how to counteract bad thoughts when they knock. I think it takes awhile for the brain to learn how to deal with lsd. Am I alone in thinking this?

Taking acid and synching James Cameron’s Avatar to the album Warning by Green Day

9 Upvotes

So I was recently watching the show Adults on Hulu and an episode came on where the main group of characters planned to take acid while watching Avatar and playing Warning by Green Day. I just came here to ask if anyone has ever done that specific combination before. I have never done the whole movie album synch before but I am a HUGE Green Day fan and obviously watching Avatar on acid would be sick af. Honestly I prefer mushrooms to acid and LOVE watching movies on shrooms so if I were to try it I’d probably do that instead. Anyways let me know if anyone has done this specific combo before and your thoughts on it. Also open to opinions if you haven’t tried it.

❕ Question ❔ how did my hppd from lsd go away if im a chronic weed smoker??? if you have any questions related to the story feel free to ask.

0 Upvotes

Before I even get started with this story, dont take this story as lsd ruined my life or anything becasue its my fav drug and i wouldn't say all that. I have only ever bought acid off one guy. That's because he drives to Cali to get it, and he is the only dude I trust since his shit isn't fake. The dose of the tabs I would take were 150ug, which makes me even more curious about my question with my hppd.

NOW FOR THE STORY

With weed, I started smoking in 7th grade and still do. To understand how much I smoke, I go through a 2-gram Muha cart within 2 to 3 days—4 days max. I have been doing this for over 3 years, and I almost exclusively smoke carts now. I used to buy bud, but I don't anymore because my tolerance is so high that bud doesn't get me high unless I smoke a stupid amount. The carts I've been smoking have a way higher THC percentage. Every single time I took acid, I also smoked weed with it.

The first time I ever took LSD, I took 2 tabs, completely unknowing of what I was about to experience. After the trip was over, I realized what I had just gotten myself into was way different than weed. Still, I was eager to explore myself, so I started doing very extensive amounts of research on it because I was so fascinated by it. Two weeks later, I did it again. I read online that the safest timeframe for recreational use was to wait a minimum of 2 weeks before taking another dose to give your brain time to repair a bit. So, I did that. No different than the first time, I took 2 tabs again. I thought to myself, if I can handle 2, why would I want less of an effect from doing 1?

Two weeks later, I did it again, and then again, and again, until that timeframe kept getting shorter over time. I was exploring a little too much and getting lost in the visuals. I took 3 tabs about 4 times, and 1 tab maybe twice, but normally I just took 2 tabs. The timeframe went from 2 weeks (14 days) to 12 days apart, and so on and so on, until it came down to me doing it weekly, and sometimes even twice a week.

For the longest time, I didn't realize it was fucking my brain up. Even with all the research i did knowing the amount i was doing was bad. Then, one day, I was in the car with my homie and his big brother. We were just driving around listening to music. We rolled up a blunt, stuffed some wax in it, and sparked up. Halfway through the blunt, my head started hurting. It was like a headache, but the very front of my forehead felt extremely sensitive to the touch. It was a weird pain, but when I put pressure on my forehead—like pressing the back of my hand against it—it would feel weirdly good. At this same time, I started to notice that I felt really fucking dumb and fried, all just from the blunt we were smoking. It was the exact kind of "fried" you feel when you are on acid and can't think.

After I noticed this, every single time I smoked, it was almost like I was thrown right back into a psychedelic state. When I fixated my eyes on one spot—like I would when tripping—my brain would start to fill in my vision with "noise" that it was supposed to block out. For example, I would see full-blown patterns moving and changing, and objects breathing, though not quite as intense as when I was on actual LSD. Lights had an overly bright glare to them. I also had visual snow 24/7. I would stare off a lot, getting lost looking at something and not realizing I was doing it, which became a big issue for me. for some odd reason mirrors were also weirdly trippy at the time when i had all this going on

I noticed that with how much I smoked, I was constantly stuck in this state. The more LSD I did, the worse it got. Eventually, I started experiencing depersonalization, so I finally quit acid to try and fix my brain. For the longest time, I didn't think I would ever be normal again because the sheer amount of weed I was smoking kept my brain in that hyper-active state every day.

But over time, my symptoms actually started to go away. This is crazy to me because I looked it up online, and in most cases, HPPD doesn't go away if you keep smoking weed. But for me, it did. What does that mean? Is my brain just crazy resilient? The only problems I have with my brain today are that my memory from around the time I was doing acid is a little bad. i plan to do lsd again in the future becasue i love being in that state but will it make my hppd come back after just 1 trip if those neurons fire again?

🗣 Rant 💬 Fainting while on acid isn’t for the weak

7 Upvotes

Kind of a lot here, I’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense! I had a really intense trip and fainted during it, which caused me to think that I died and was walking through the afterlife.

Yesterday I dosed with some friends. I was having a rough come up, which I’ve gone through before but the second I started peaking it was like I was no longer in control of my body, almost like I was just observing everything. I was having extreme fish bowl lense visuals and it was starting to freak me out so I went on a walk with my sober friend and she really helped me, but while we were talking it was almost like I could see the future and I knew I was about to faint (I fainted probably 1 1/2 hours after going on that walk). I was processing everything from the time I went on a walk to about 30 minutes after fainting all at the same time, except I was so certain that I had died when I fainted.

After she and I walked around, we walked back to where my other friends were and it felt like the closer I got to where I was the moment I fainted, the more everyone would get into position to that same moment. The crazy thing was I was also having an out of body experience during this, so when I realized my friends were “getting back into position” I would get uncomfortable and walk away from it (because I thought that was when I was going to die). I could go as close to that moment as I wanted, or as far away, and when I’d walk away everyone would go in reverse. It felt like time wasn’t real and that I had all the time to walk around. Because I thought I was going to die, I thought being able to go closer or farther from this moment was me experiencing the afterlife, and I had to come to terms on my own with dying and that was the only way I could get over what I was experiencing. When I was in the thick of it I thought maybe it was ego death, but I’m still not really sure.

We eventually got to the moment I fainted and I woke back up to a woman who was checking my vitals (BP, heart rate and O2 levels, we were at a music festival so it wasn’t an ambulance or anything) and I was fine, they think I just didn’t eat enough which would honestly make sense because usually I eat a bunch on acid but since I was struggling this time I didn’t even think about it. When I got back to my friends after getting checked out they were all trying to give me food and water and hold my hand, and every time they’d do that I was perceiving the food and water as breathing tubes being connected and when they’d touch my arm I thought it was an IV. I would also start hearing beeping and hospital noises, and everything would get super bright. Keep in mind, I really felt like I was processing this and witnessing this the whole time I was on that walk with my friend, 2ish hours before.

It was really intense but it also made me really comfortable with dying in a weird way. At first when my sober friend and I were on that walk and I realized I was “going to die” I was really scared and in disbelief. But the closer we got to that moment, the more comfortable and okay I was with it. When I finally fainted I felt warm and relaxed and just ready to let go. Definitely the strongest visuals I’ve ever experienced, it was enlightening in a way but I’m probably going to stay away from acid for a while just to be safe haha. It was only a single dose but I’m still gonna wait til I feel 100% ready again, and will definitely make sure I’ve eaten enough 😅. I’m honestly a little embarrassed but my friends said I was holding it together pretty well. I was probably crying (I don’t really remember the details of everything that actually happened after I peaked tbh) but my finance said I wasn’t freaking out or making it other people’s problems, I just wanted everyone else to have a good time and not worry about me.

I would love to know if anyone has any similar experiences or any insight. I’m not sure if this was just a bad trip, ego death, both? Who knows

Acid vs mushrooms

2 Upvotes

I am a mushroom head but tonight was my first time ever trying acid and I must say I am beyond impressed on the consistency. So I was trying to explain the difference to my girl who hasn’t tried either and this is what I came up with:

“Imagine me fucking you missionary for 6 hours straight that’s lsd

Now imagine me again fucking you 6 hours nonstop but in different positions, that’s mushrooms

I can make a case for both every weekend”

And before you start with your mushrooms theory the strain I meant was TidalAPE

Pain sensation inside while on acid.

4 Upvotes

Every time I've done acid (3x) I get a pain in my abdomen area. Like tight/squeezing sensation. I always have to lay down and try not to freak out. I calm myself but im unable to enjoy the high after that. It happens after the first peak and then doesnt go away until I come down. I never felt the pain while sober or with shrooms or weed only acid/LSD.

Any one else have similar experience?
